SECTION 1 The HART

INTRODUCTION

The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Communicator (Figure 1-1) is a hand-held interfacethat provides a common communication link to all HART-compatible, microprocessor-based instruments.

Section 1 disc usses the HART Com municat o r Connections, Liquid Crystal Display, Key pad, Offline and Online menu, Battery Pack, Memory Module, data pack 100, Maintenance, and Year 2000 Compatibility.It also includes short overviews on some of the Communicator’s functionality.

Section 2 desc ribes tasks that are common to Fisher- Rosemount’s HART devices and includes some of the common screen dis plays.

Section 3 displays typical examples of menu trees specific to FisherRosemount products.

YourHART Communicator interfaces with any HART-compatible device from any wiring termination point using a 4–20 mA loop, provided a minimum load resistance of 250ohms is present between the Communicator and the power supply.Your HART Communicator u ses the Bell 2 02 frequency shift key (FSK) technique of high-frequency digital signals superimposed on a standard transmitter current loop of 4–20 mA. Because the total highfrequency signal voltage added to the loop amounts to zero, communication to and from a HART-compatible device does not disturb the 4–20 mA signal.

HART COMMUNICATOR CONNECTIONS

The HART Communicator can interface with a transmitter from the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the loop th rough the rear connection panel (Figure 1-2).

To interface, connect t he HART Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel wit h the instrument or load resistor. All connectionsare non-polarized. When conne cting to a PC, you must use the PC Communication Adapter to connect to t he Communicator’s serial port. See Listen for PC Menu on page 1-26 for more information and Appendix B for a complete list of parts.

For intrinsically safe Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Factory Mutual (FM) wiring connections, see A ppendix C.

WARNING

Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Do not connect to the serial port or NiCad recharger jack in an explosive atmosphere.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)

The LCD is an 8-line by 21-character display that provides communication between you and the connected device. When you connect to a HARTcompatible device, the top line of each Online menu displays the model name of the device and its tag. The bottom line of each menu is reserved for the dynamic labels for each software-defined function key, F1-F4 (found directly below the display).

These dynamic labels display available functions. For example, the label

appears above the F1 key when access to online help is available.

HELP

See Software-Defined Function Keys on page 1-6 for more informa tion. The Communicator does not store key strokes in its memory. The LCD

should be fully displayed before you press a key to do the next action.

THE ACTION KEYS

Theactionkeys(Figure 1-1) are the six blue, white, and black keys located above the alphanumeric keys. The function of each key is described as follows:

data pack 100. See Figure 1-16 and Figure 1-17. The Memory Module holds up to 10 typical configurations, and contains the operating system software, and device application software in nonvolatile memory. The data pack stores up to 100 typical configurations in nonvolatile removable memory.

FIGURE 1-16. Save As... Menu.

FIGURE 1-17. LocationMenu.

You can also use the Save As... menu to enter or edit the configuration name and data type. Data Type Standard provides a Data Type menu with editable options. Standard is the set of editable variables used when defining a new device configuration. Partialis a set of marked variables. Full is the set of all device variables.

NOTE: Configurations created offline in the HART Communicator will not transfer to Asset Management Solutions (AMS) software; however, ‘Full’ configurations saved from a field device to a HART Communicator may be uploaded to AMS. Configurations saved as ‘Full’ from an online device may also be transferred directly to AMS.

After you have made all desired changes, save your new configuration to a storage location and return to the Offline menu. Refer to Storage Location

Menu on page 1-28 for more i nform ation.

The PC option is not operational with this release. Refer to Listen for PC

Menu on page 1-26 for details on interfacing with a PC.

Data Pack Contents Menu Figure 1-19 shows the data pack Contents menu, displaying a listing of

device configurations stored in the data pack. From the Saved Configuration menu (Figure 1-18), press 2 to access the data pack Contents menu.

FIGURE 1-19. Data Pack ContentsMenu.

The following functions key s are available from the data pack Contents menu:

The function key opens a menu t hat provides Sort and Filter options

FILTR

for customizing yourview of saved device configurations. Sortlets you group and display device configurations according to your choice of Tag, Descriptor,or Name. Tag Filter lets you view information according to what

1-17

you entered with Sort by picking characters from the device Tag, Descriptor, or Name.

When setting up a filter, you can use the period (.) to replace a single character of any value or the asterisk (*) to replace zero or more alphanumeric characters of any value.

For example, if you enter A-*-.1, it should match all device tags starting with

A-, followed by any characters, followed by -, followed by any single character, and ending with a 1. That means only devices starting with A-

and ending in 1, out of yourlist of saved device configurations, will display as a group on the Communicator ’s screen.

XPAND

The function key allows you to view the Tag,Descriptor, and Name for the current configuration. Select Com p ress to return to the previous compressed screen with the current Tag or Descriptor or Name.

Saved Configuration Menu (data pack Contents)

From the data pack Contents menu (Figure 1-19), press to open the Saved Configuration menu (Figure 1-20).

FIGURE 1-20. Saved Configuration Menu (data pack Contents).

The following functions are available from t he Saved configuration menu: Edit displays the Edit menu. These edit functi ons are the same as described

under Edit individually on page 1-15. If you are editing online, remember that only stored data can be edited. A Partial configuration canbe edited, but you must convert it to a Standard configuration in order to save your edits.

Copy to... specifies the storage location where you want the copy to be stored. You can also change the configuration name when using this option.

Send sends your saved configuration to a connected device. Print requires AMS running in your computer. This option is intended for the

future. See Listen for PC Men u on page 1-26 for more information. Delete removes a saved configuration from the m e mory storage location. A

confirmation message will appear. Press Yesor No to complete t he function.

1-18

Rename accesses the Configuration Name editing menu. After making

name changes, enter and save the data to return t o the previous storage location menu.

Compare compares a selected device configuration from a stored location with another device c onfiguration. The HART Communicator compares device types, variables, marked lists, etc. Messages will appear indicating whether the configurations compared are the same or different. Press OK to return to the storage loca tion and your list of device configurations. Find and make any necessary changes resulting from your comparisons.

In order to produce a “Same / Differ” result, the following conditions must be met when comparing two configurations:

1. Device type (including manufacturer), device type number, device revision, and DD revision must match exactly.

2. Configurations can only be compared against other configurations containing the same set of variables. The Communicator will notify you if this condition is not met.

3. The format of data storage must match exactly. The Communicator will notify you if this condition is not met.

User assigned configuration names are not considered, as they will differ.

ONLINE MENU

With a HART-compatible device connected, press on the Main menu

FIGURE 1-21. Online Menu.

The Online menu displays the name of the device on the first line of the LCD. You have complete functionality for a specific device only when that device description is present in the HART Communicator. If the DD is not present in the HART Communicato r, contact your nearest service representative.

The Online menu can be different depending on the connected device. See your device-specific manual for O nlin e menu details. Or, see Section 3 for a selection of device-specific menu trees.

When the DD for a specific device is not available, your HART Communicator provides a generic interface. This generic interface enables you to perform functions common to all HART-compatible devices. Figure 1-22 shows the Generic Online menu tree.

The Online (Generic) menu is the first menu in the generic interface. This menu displays critical, up-to-date device information such as the process variable (PV), analog output(AO) , lower range value (LRV), and upper range value (URV). Configuration parameters for the c onnected device are accessed using the Device setup option.

The following functions are available from t he Generic Online m enu:

SAVE

The function key allows you to save a configuration from a transmitted device. See Changing a Saved Configuration on page1-29 for more details.

Device Setup accesses the Device Setup menu, containing configurable device parameters common to all HART-compatible devices.

PV (Primary Variable) displays the dynamic PV and the related engineering units. When the PV contains too many characters to display on the Online menu, press 1 to access the PV menu and view the PV and related engineering units.

AO (Analog Output) and related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. The AO is the signalon the 4–20 mA scale that corresponds to the PV. When the analog output contains t oo many characters to display on the Online menu, press 3 to access the PV AO menu and view the AO output and related engineering units.

Current LRV (Lower Range Value)and related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. W hen the LRV contains too many characters to display on t he Online menu, press 4 to access the PV LRV menu and view the LRV and related engineering units.

Current URV (Upper Range Value) and the related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. When the URV contains too many charac ter s to display on the Online menu, pr ess 5 to ac cess the PV URV menu and view the URV and related engineering units.
